BenQ Education was named a multiple-category winner in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Best of 2025. Two of its leading education solutions, the BenQ SL04 Pantone® Validated Signage and InstaShow WDC15, were recognized for delivering impact in both secondary education and higher education learning environments. 

The Best of 2025 Awards celebrate educational technology from the last 12 months that has excelled in supporting teachers, students, and education professionals, whether in the classroom, for professional development, or general management of education resources and learning. Judged by a panel of industry experts, the awards spotlight products that go beyond expectations to help strengthen teaching and learning outcomes. 

See below for a closer look at the award-winning BenQ solutions recognized across both secondary and higher education categories: 

In environments where inconsistent color and low-quality visuals can limit engagement and comprehension, the SL04 Series solves this by delivering stunning, true-to-life visuals with Pantone®-validated color accuracy. A winner in both the Secondary Education and Higher Education categories, the SL04 Series was praised for enhancing engagement across a broad range of subjects. Designed to support educators and administrators, the SL04 provides professional-grade image quality and flexible content management, making it a valuable tool for everything from design courses to large-scale campus communications. 

According to one judge, “It seems every panel/monitor says their color is the best. This is the first panel I know that Pantone has rated with their color matching. If you have signage for which color matching is imperative, this is the panel for your needs.” 

Also winning in both categories, the BenQ InstaShow WDC15 addresses a common classroom challenge: complicated setup and unreliable screen sharing that disrupts learning time. The WDC15 simplifies wireless screen sharing without sacrificing security through a plug-and-play design that allows instructors and students to present instantly and securely – no apps, drivers, or network setup required. By reducing setup time and removing technical barriers the InstaShow WDC15 enables seamless, secure collaboration, making it a flexible and intuitive solution for collaborative learning in both classrooms and lecture halls.

An awards judge noted, “Although simple, [BenQ] still put an emphasis on data and network security without compromising ease of use.”

The Tech & Learning editorial team shared, “The awards brought a huge number of high-quality entries. Our panel of industry experts judged the winning products to be those that were most impactful in helping schools improve teaching and learning during 2025.”
